happened again where i was reading about cicadas and thought "damn i should get a cicada tattoo" and then glanced down at the part of my arm where i would put a cicada tattoo, which is where my cicada tattoo is

I never thought I'd have to make a post like this, but I need serious help.

My wife was laid off in March and we've been limping along on just my salary alone. We've managed to make it this far, but now we're in a situation where we don't even have enough money for groceries, much less rent.

My wife has been searching for a job and has done dozens of interviews, but she only has gotten one offer that doesn't even start until 7/6. She recently applied for unemployment, but they're taking forever to actually get any money to us

Right now, we really need any money we can get. I'm hoping that unemployment will come through before my landlord files for eviction on 6/15 but even with unemployment money I'm unsure that we'll be able to cover the full rent balance which is $1531.57.

I currently only have $170 in my account, which will be barely enough to cover groceries for us, and my wife needs gas to get to her drug screen for the job offer on 7/6.

Please please please if you have anything to offer to a struggling queer couple, anything is appreciated. I have receipts if you need them. I may create a gofundme if this post gets traction but for now, all I have is cash app and venmo. Please don't feel obligated to send anything, but like I said, anything helps. Even just a reblog to spread this around. Thank you so much.

Things have come to a head, and I had to create a gofundme. I have some more information on the fundraiser page about our situation. My wife is going to call the leasing company to see if there's any way they can hold off on filing for eviction, but I don't have high hopes. We probably have about 2-3 weeks to meet this goal before we are evicted. Here's the gofundme link:

Once again, anything helps. Please share this version of the post as much as possible.

You hate yourself so loudly. You hate yourself at the top of your lungs. Your loathing for yourself permeates your speech. “Sorry I’m just rambling.” “Don’t worry about it.” “Just ignore me.” “Sorry if I’m annoying you.” “Sorry I don’t make sense.” “Sorry about that.” Sorry, sorry, sorry. You act as if you have to beat everyone else to the punch. As if the punching bag is you. If you hate yourself first, if you hate yourself loudest, then nobody will hurt you. You clapped your hands over your ears and shut your eyes and balled yourself up so that you’d never have to experience people’s loathing for you. And it meant you never heard their love. You drowned it out. You screamed your hatred over it. And you never got to hear it. 

My anthropologist partner dislikes the 1.20 update because it refers to pieces of pottery as "shards" rather than the correct term, "sherds"

I like how there’s just this small group of people being a “little” upset about the shard and sherd thing. I’m reblogging every single one of them

Fyi if you don’t already know, shard is broken pieces of glass and sherd is broken pieces of ceramic

Good News

Anthropology win.

artists rendition (i forgot to add the poms on his shirt but you get the gist)

Every time someone makes an artist's rendition of a weird little guy they saw in public instead of recording them without consent, an angel gets it's wings.
